You aren't much of a student of history or the law if you think it was only in the South
guess you've never heard of restrictive covenants or red lining (and that is to name only two practices that occurred everywhere)

but feel free to keep those rose colored glasses on
just pardon me while I laugh
The voices of the people in this land have been as varied as the people who live here
that's why we had the Japanese internment, and the bashing of Japanese and German Americans
that is why we had McCarthyism
that is why we have all kinds of racial bigotry today
it isn't just about whites- there is racial prejudice enough to go around for everyone
it is about deriving a sense of self from group identity, and using group identity to become less decent, less charitable, and less just to people who are not a member of your group

The people on this thread, and even more importantly on other threads where hatred is more obvious, and more blatant, exemplify the freedom of thought that is America. One of our most cherished freedoms has been the freedom to hate (always has been, and imo always will be- human nature being what it is).
